Finally made a somewhat-triangular, almost pointy rock

This one was about a half inch longer, but I got over center on one flake and she made like a tree and split.

Looks like an arrowhead, Jonathan.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

actually it looks pretty nice.  Yeah, I know the feeling on getting a point the length you want, and suddenly the rock, says, nah, and you either have two bird points, or a somewhat reduced in size point. :(  Been there, still doing that! >:(

very nice point
i dont know any knappers that havent busted their share of points down to size
the key is to get a point from what ya got left,and ya did a fine job at that
keep it up
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Looks good. I still break as many as I make. Just part of the process. Start out making a knife and end up with an arrow head instead.

Looks good Jonathan. Keep at it. I broke 3 yesterday. Wish you could have made it up to the house this weekend.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Thanks everybody.  Some of the pieces are finally starting to fall into place and make sense.  Hopefully I'll be able to start turning out some better stuff soon.

TJ, I wish I could have made it, too.  Turns out there was no strep, and no infections.  His fever did stay over 100 until sometime in the middle of the night, though.
